Why won't you leave?!

[Gorilla_Mama]

I have Pietro in my town and I don't like him. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for months for him to tell me he's leaving. To be fair, I have let a couple others go during that time. Anyways, right now I have villagers trying to leave. I tell them no, wait for the next one, you know how it goes. But they're skipping Pietro and repeating!!! Prince told me he wanted to leave, I said no, it cycled through 2 other villagers, and today Prince tells me he wants to leave again. Aaaaagh!!

I'm not nice to Pietro either, I ignore him, push him, send him trash, deny or screw up his requests.

No real point to this post, just venting.

Try just ignoring him. I heard that interacting them in any way (even unkind ways) makes it so they are less likely to leave.

I want Rowan out! I have not talked to him in weeks, hit him with my hammer, shovel, and net, and pushed him. So...I basically want him OUT! Lolol

Rocket won't leave for me. I don't like her, and to make it worse her house is right where I want to do some landscaping...

I don't believe harassing villagers has any effect on them moving out sooner, tho. It's random.

You shouldn't ignore villagers you want to leave, because if you're not on speaking terms (aka if you haven't spoken at all in 2 or more weeks) they won't ping you, and they need to ping you to tell you they're leaving! Man I relate though, trying to get one specific person to move takes a whiiiile

This. That's why I say you should greet all your villagers every day and then ignore the ones you don't like, unless they ping you, since it might mean they're either moving out or requesting a new PWP.

Once they've told you they want to move out. DO NOT talk to them again. If they ping you again, most likely it means they changed their minds about moving. Fast foward time to a day after they planned on moving to avoid this.

I made this mistake twice and now I have Rocco and Annilissa all over again. ;_;

I don't think ignoring them will get them to move out faster. If I heard this correctly from somewhere, if you become good friends with them, then they are more likely to move out. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. So if ignoring them isn't doing much good, try to get their friendship up and then they will want to move out sooner.

I had to TT about two months into the future to get Sparro out of my town. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it
